houseandfig.com is Sarah & Joe Hebenstreit. Joe is a ‘Maker’ in all meanings of the word as well as a Product Design Lead. Sarah spends most of her time photographing very cute kids Sarah Wert Photography. We got hitched in July of 2007 and about a month later found ourselves tearing down walls in our new home.
